"So much distrust, Bead tisks as he turns his head between his party and the Duke.

He gives Chops a nudge and moves closer.
"If we wanted you for ourselves, make no mistake, lord, you would already be in shackles. Now, do we really have to go through all of this trouble with scrolls?"

The bodyguard steps forward. "Listen, I know there is a lot of people who would like to hurt, kidnap, hold for ransom The Duke out there." The man says frustrated. "Oakleaf himself said do not trust anyone that does not have the scroll. Show it so we can get out of here." Demands the bodyguard. "And you are right I don't trust anyone with the Duke's safety." He says.
